The number of treatments as well as results vary from patient to patient. Commonly, improvement may be seen anywhere from 4–8 weeks if treatments are performed every 1 to 2 weeks depending on the severity of the condition and the patient’s skin’s reaction to the therapy. Some patient’s condition may worsen before it gets better

• Those who are pregnant

• Those who are sunburned or have irritated skin in the sites to be treated

• Those who are exhibiting unidentified skin conditions in the sites to be treated

• Those who have healed poorly after other types of laser treatments

• Patients prone to skin discoloration

• Patients who are taking photosensitizing medication, such as Accutane, should consider discontinuing the medication 6 months before treatment

• Patients who are taking topical Retin-A, patients should wait 2 weeks before treatment

• Don’t apply laser energy to any raised lesions, aside from purely red ones i.e. angiomas; other lesions should first be checked by a dermatologist

  Patients who are sunburned should wait until the burn subsides. Herpes Simplex Labialis (fever blisters) can be activated by laser treatment, especially on the upper lip, and patients with a tendency for fever blistering can be started on antiviral medication before treatment.
